SQLCommand.Parameters.Add - How to give decimal value size?

How would you specify this:

Decimal(18,2)

In this:

SqlComm.Parameters.Add("@myValue", SqlDbType.Decimal, 0, "myValue");

Currently I have defined precision = 2 from the design side properties. I'm just curious as to how to accomplish this from the code. Thanks

There's not an overload of Add that lets you set the decimal precision inline, so you either need to create a SQlParameter object and add it to the collection:

SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@myValue", SqlDbType.Decimal);
param.SourceColumn = "myValue";
param.Precision = 18;
param.Scale = 2;
SqlComm.Parameters.Add(param);

or keep a reference to the parameter after adding it:

SqlParameter param = SqlComm.Parameters.Add("@myValue", SqlDbType.Decimal, 0, "myValue");
param.Precision = 18;
param.Scale = 2;

or using the parameter constructor:

SqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter(
    parameterName = "@myValue", 
    dbType = SqlDbType.Decimal,
    precision = 18,
    scale = 2,
    sourceColumn = "myValue"));
